I've been doing a project for work on "Big Data," which is essentially the field of using all of the information that is now readily available to predict outcomes. Google, for example, is able to predict where flu outbreaks are likely to occur based on the search terms being used in specific locations. I wonder if you could use information from twitter to better predict what athletes will commit to which schools, who will become a star player, who is an academic/legal liability, etc.
